Spain’s national football team will be based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed on Thursday. The city, with a population of around 190,000, is located on the Tennessee River, roughly two hours from Atlanta, where Spain will play two of their three Group H matches.
“Luis de la Fuente’s team will stay in the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chattanooga Downtown and will use the facilities at Baylor School as a training centre,” the RFEF said in a statement.
The European champions and 2010 World Cup winners will face Cape Verde on June 15 and Saudi Arabia on June 21 in Atlanta. Their final group match will be against two-time winners Uruguay in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Spain enters the tournament as the top-ranked team by FIFA and is widely regarded as one of the favorites to lift the trophy when the competition kicks off on June 11 and runs until July 19 across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
